When you run monitoring queries like sp_BlitzWho and sp_WhoIsActive, you wanna see the program names that are running the queries. It's super useful when you've got multiple apps running on the same servers, or when you've got apps scattered across end user computers. If you don't set the program names, you'll either end up with empty strings, or your dev tool's default name, like Core .Net SqlClient Data Provider, which doesn't tell you jack.

Microsoft.Data.SqlClient provides database connectivity to SQL Server for .NET applications. - dotnet/SqlClient

In questa puntata parlo di Microsoft.Data.SqlClient, il driver che molte applicazioni .NET usano ogni giorno per comunicare con SQL Server, spesso senza che ce ne rendiamo davvero conto. Vediamo perché non è solo “la libreria della connection string”, ma un componente importante per sicurezza, autenticazione, performance, retry, diagnostica e nuove funzionalità come il supporto ai vector type di SQL Server 2025. - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/ado-net/microsoft-ado-net-sql-server - https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/sqlserver/microsoft-data-sqlclient-7-0-is-here-a-leaner-more-modular-driver-for-sql-server/4503173 - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/ado-net/sqlclient-driver-support-lifecycle - https://github.com/dotnet/SqlClient/discussions/3793 #dotnet #csharp #sqlserver #microsoftdatasqlclient #sqlclient #ado.net #aspnetcore #efcore #dapper #azure #azuresql #database #programmazione #svilupposoftware #dotnetinpillole

Database deployments have traditionally been one of the trickier parts of a CI/CD pipeline. You need the right tools installed, the right permissions configured, and the right SQL Server instance reachable—all at deploy time. MSBuild.Sdk.SqlProj simplifies this by letting you manage your SQL Server schema as code and build a .dacpac file just like any other .NET project. Starting with version 4.0.0, it goes one step further by letting you package the .dacpac and the deployment tool into a self-contained container image that can be run anywhere containers can run.

This is the general availability release of Microsoft.Data.SqlClient 7.0, a major milestone for the .NET data provider for SQL Server. This release addresses the most upvoted issue in the repositor...
